Garfield council authorized mayor to negotiate sale of former elementary school and recognized graduating students
Summary
The council granted Mayor Blackburn authority to negotiate terms for the sale of the Garfield Elementary School property and acknowledged five former elementary students graduating high school, each of whom addressed the council.
Mayor Gary Blackburn told the council that the Garfield Elementary School property has been listed for sale and asked for authority to negotiate terms with the listing realtor. Council Member Kitterman moved to allow Mayor Blackburn to negotiate conditions with the listing realtor; Council Member Rambo seconded and the motion carried on a unanimous vote.
In the same meeting the mayor recognized former Garfield Elementary students who are graduating high school this year: Simon Hooper, Silas McCoy, Payton, Ryan Wassman and Joseph Crowell. Each student addressed the council and discussed plans after graduation, according to the meeting record; the transcript does not provide verbatim quotes from their remarks.
The transcript does not record specific sale terms, price expectations or timelines; the council authorized negotiation but did not record any final sale or binding agreement during the May 13 meeting.
